The halls were so quiet it almost felt like they were screaming due to the absence of chaos most often delivered by the students. Instead of loud chattering of gossip there was the quiet patterning of the house elves beginning to put the final touches on the school before the students arrived. [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/witcher/images/7/78/Netflix_Stregobor.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20191112214152]Headmaster Adam chapeau[/url] was walking down from his office and towards the faculty lounge area behind the great hall. He was excited to see how the former students, now teachers would fair in their first year. [i]Not many get a chance to attend school twice for the first time[/i] he mused with a smile. 

Walking through a few more hallways and down another flight of stairs he opened a door with a smile to see… an empty room. Looking over on the wall he started to frown until he saw the clock which seemed more than happy to show him that he was nearly an hour early to the faculty meeting. While he decided to stay or go back to his office for a bit he let his mind wander and his feet carried him to the [url=https://imgix.bustle.com/rehost/2016/9/13/2d38a448-fcdf-4e62-adf3-fd81eff2ce37.jpg]great hall[/url]. Elves bowed as he passed and he looked around at his magnificent home. The only thing that was really new was the four marble statues near the entrance of the hall. Each statue was one of the founding members of the school. 

Excited for what was in store he walked along the tables and to the entrance where the statues stood. He smiled at the exquisite craftsmanship that went into carving each one. He made a mental note to send another thank you basket to the sculpture. As a house elf quickly rushed past him he smiled and gave a friendly nod which was unfortunately not returned due to the elf's face being blocked by a giant bundle of sheets headed towards the Slytherin dorms in the dungeon. He was soon followed by another train of elves loaded down with pillow covers, blankets, and what looked to be toilet paper.  

With another 30 minutes to spare the Headmaster made his way back to the [url=https://i.pinimg.com/474x/b0/bf/0f/b0bf0f8fc83e8a65681bb1019258a386.jpg]staff room[/url] and took to the large wing back chair which he sat in until he could begin to welcome the teachers as they arrived from whatever they were doing. He was sure some were busy with lesson plans, cleaning, moving in, or even just arriving. His smile grew bigger with each thought as he realized none of them had any idea what was in store for the students, this school, and its teachers.
